While travelling down the East Coast Main Line this morning en route to the big smoke of London I was able to indulge in some more of my favourite songs from 2015.
When The Maccabees released their fourth album this summer I picked it out as an album worth borrowing off your mates. A few months on and this record has continued to delight and surprise in equal measures. From the moment I first heard the lead single Marks To Prove It, this was the sound of a band back on top of their game.
If Colour Me In was the sound of an eternal indie disco you never want to leave, four albums later they've created their debut's older, wiser but no less spunky sibling. Songs like Silence demonstrate how far this band have come, with a simply sublime song of hope that seems a million miles away from the wave machine of Latchmere. Both great songs but both very different.
Those more attentive among you will have noticed that for today's song in the ninth day of this advent of indie music I've selected the album version of Spit It Out. You can listen to it in all it's full length glory here. Happy listening!
